One- and Two-Sample Tests of Hypotheses
Two-Sample Case Study
Shortly before Valentine's Day in 1999 , a newspaper article was printed with the headline "Marriage makes for healthier, longer life, studies show." The headline was based on studies that showed that married persons live longer and have lower rates of cancer, heart disease, and stroke than do those who never marry. 33 Use the language of statistics to discuss the headline. Use a schematic diagram similar to Figure 7.4 .1 or Figure 7.4 .2 to support your explanation of the situation.

Health researchers were curious if women in India lived longer on average than men in India. They obtained data from a random sample of 216 records of people in India. Here is a summary of their lifespans (in years). Is there convincing evidence that women in India live longer than men in India at the 5% significance level? Lifespan Men Women Mean Standard deviation Number of people Ho: μmen = μwomen Ha: μmen < μwomen Assume all conditions are met P-Value Do NOT round, copy EXACTLY from the applet
